    I mean…do we want to tear it down?

    Apple is apple. They don’t make false claims about how walled off they are.

    Android is android. And for people who want to strip out all the google stuff, you can. And you can use F-Droid exclusively.

    But look at the typical apple user. Do you think they’re going to be happy without the apple experience?

    Some things are for you, other things are NOT for you. Letting both exist is an option.

      The Apple experience = locked down devices? If people (and Apple) stopped fearmongering about “security” or whatever, yeah they would, or at worst they wouldn’t care. I’d certainly welcome being able to publish apps on my terms, and being able to install what I want.

      Some things are for you, other things are NOT for you. Letting both exist is an option.

      That’s exactly the point. You don’t have to use the parts of a theoretical more open ecosystem if you don’t want to, you can keep using exclusively the official Apple stuff. But it creates more choice for the user if it exists.

      Pretty sure we do.

      Some things are for you, other things are NOT for you. Letting both exist is an option.

      So you agree it’s good Fortnite now exists on iOS? Apple users get more options?
